A Surge in Entrants and Nights Booked

The competition, open from October 1 to February 29, invited participants to book a stay at participating caravan holiday parks. With Tasmania’s breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and vibrant local culture, it’s no surprise that the competition attracted a whopping 2,012 entrants. These adventurers collectively booked 7,293 nights, showcasing an overwhelming interest in exploring the island state’s natural beauty.

Entries and Multipliers

The unique structure of the competition encouraged participants to venture further from the state capital, rewarding them with higher entry multipliers based on the distance travelled. This clever mechanism not only increased the total number of entries to 11,222 but also motivated travellers to explore lesser-known regions of Tasmania, spreading the economic benefits across the state.

Impact on Tasmania’s Tourism

The Road 2 A Million competition has played a pivotal role in highlighting Tasmania as a destination that offers a blend of adventure and the chance to win big. The substantial increase in bookings during the competition period has directly benefited local caravan parks, restaurants, and attractions, contributing significantly to the local economy.

Moreover, the competition has fostered a sense of adventure among participants, pushing them to discover the hidden gems of Tasmania, from its rugged coastlines to its serene national parks. This exploration has not only generated immediate economic benefits but also promoted sustainable tourism by dispersing visitors across various regions, reducing the pressure on popular spots.

A Win for the Community and Economy

Beyond the individual excitement of potentially winning a million dollars or travel vouchers, the competition has been a communal win for Tasmania. It has demonstrated the power of innovative marketing strategies in tourism, proving that engaging potential visitors with unique opportunities can lead to substantial benefits for both the economy and the community.

As we await the announcement of the winners on March 7, 2024, the Road 2 A Million competition stands as a testament to Tasmania’s appeal and the endless possibilities that innovative tourism strategies can bring to regions ready to welcome the world.
